Watch Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters Best Movies

Gregory Crewdson's riveting photographs are elaborately staged, elegant narratives compressed into a single, albeit large-scale image, many of them taken at twilight, set in small towns of Western Massachusetts or meticulously recreated interior spaces, built on the kind of sound stages associated with big-budget movies. Shapiro's fascinating profile of the acclaimed artist includes stories of his Park Slope childhood (in which he tried to overhear patients of his psychologist father), his summers in the bucolic countryside (which he now imbues with a sense of dread and foreboding), and his encounter with Diane Arbus's work in 1972 at age 10. Novelists Rick Moody and Russell Banks, and fellow photographer Laurie Simmons, comment on the motivation behind their friend's haunting images. -- (C) Zeitgeist

Review For Movie Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters

Though his work is dark, on camera at least, Crewdson is a delight.
Betsy Sharkey-Los Angeles Times

Shapiro's film is fascinating even if it can't possibly answer all the mysteries propelling the work of a photographer whose interest in secrets was rooted in wondering what tales were being uncovered in his psychologist father's basement office.
Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post

"Brief Encounters" is a smart, well-constructed documentary that will enthrall Crewdson fans.
Sebastian Smee-Boston Globe

Crewdson's work ultimately begins to seem less enigmatic than he is himself.
Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post

Crewdson's pictures are worth a thousand words, so it's not surprising that the sequences of him meticulously choreographing his eerie shots speak volumes. You wish some of that disciplined approach had worn off on his biographer.
David Fear-Time Out New York

With marvelous discipline, Mr. Shapiro crams a wealth of material into a tight 77 minutes, smoothly communicating the group effort required to achieve the perfect shot.
Jeannette Catsoulis-New York Times

An example of narrowcasting through and through, this documentary offering achieves a certain hold for those inclined toward psycho-social rumination.
Brent Simon-Shockya.com

"Brief Encounters" is a film for photography fans and a photo essay for film fans.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Gregory Crewdson drives through the towns in Western Massachusetts that serve as settings for so many photos in Beneath the Roses, towns where the streets are empty and the buildings are low.
Cynthia Fuchs-PopMatters

Fascinating snapshot of the artist.
James Verniere-Boston Herald

Explores the life, art and working methods of Brooklyn-born photographer Gregory Crewdson, now know for painstakingly and expensively staged tableaux of homes and neighborhoods that require, in essence, a film crew to create...
John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)

Ben Shapiro shot this documentary over 10 years and not only achieves a portrait of the artist but also captures the artistic process itself, following Crewdson from initial inspiration to finished product.
Peter Keough-Boston Phoenix

Reverent if none-too-probing portrait of a master of the micro-managed tableau.
David Noh-Film Journal International

Ben Shapiro's goal isn't so much a comprehensive biopic as an in-the-moment snapshot of creative fervent.
Ela Bittencourt-Slant Magazine

An engaging portrait of a fascinating artist, it is difficult if not impossible to look away from once it gets going -- much like Crewdson's astonishing photographs.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
